		The victory over the self-styled “chauvinist pig” Riggs, himself a Wimbledon Singles champion in 1939, came towards the end of an astonishing run of success at The Championships in which, between 1961 and 1979, she claimed 20 titles – six singles, ten doubles and four mixed – a record she shares with Martina Navratilova.
		Wimbledon first welcomed this breezily confident American as a champion in 1961 when, as Billie Jean Moffitt, she teamed with Karen Hantze to become Ladies’ Doubles champion for the first time.
		The 1979 doubles victory with Navratilova over Stove and Wendy Turnbull was her record-breaking 20th Wimbledon title, eclipsing the mark of 19 (all achieved in doubles) set by her fellow-Californian, Elizabeth Ryan, between 1914 and 1934.

	CBC Sports Online - Wimbledon
		The men's doubles draw was introduced in 1879, while the ladies doubles and mixed doubles didn't come into existence until 1913.
		With the increased availability of air travel, international participation grew even further in the 1950s, but as the decade wore on, Wimbledon organizers thought it would be in their best interests to open the championship to professional tennis players.
		The International Lawn Tennis Federation strongly opposed the move, and it wasn't until 1967, when a number of former Wimbledon champions competed in a television tennis invitational for BBC, did the LTA changed its mind and open the tournament to professionals in 1968.

	Tennis Hall of Shame: ATP YECs - doubles
		In contrast to the singles (and also to the women's doubles at WTA YECs), the YEC doubles draw is filled with all top eight teams.
		The ATP may have declared war on doubles in other ways, but the YECs give doubles their proper due and play out a full round robin among the eight teams and follow the same format as the singles.
		Given the changes the ATP is trying to implement, this may be the last year that doubles survives in anything like its original form, so if you have the chance to see any of these matches, best enjoy it.
